When I talk about wholesale offers I’m talking about unsolicited email offers from investors and brokers who appear to live in China and are willing to buy a domain today in what is a very liquid market.

Certainly not end users which are still there all around the world for three letter .com’s with or without Vowels or “v’ (“Chinese LLL.com’s)

To call a wholesale value, I take into account the number of offers, the random nature of the offers and the number of parties will to pay that amount or more for a random domain or group of domain names.

As of today, I’m calling the wholesale value of Chinese LLL.com to be around $50K.

Those would be for non repeaters.

Obviously the market for a three letter repeater has been six figures and a two letter repeater such as mzz.com or jjq.com (yes those are my domains) can fetch a higher price so I’m excluding those.

I have been offered as of this morning upwards of $57,000 per for several of the Chinese three letter .com’s and have several offers from several parties at $50,000 per.

Earlier this year the wholesale value was around $24K

A month ago it was around $40K.

Now why I’m I telling you this?

Simply so you don’t sell cheap.

I’m not telling you to buy 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 letter .com’s or domains in other extensions.

So we are clear so we do not have a repeat like the discussion going on another one of our posts from Friday night, the only motive I have is for everyone to get the dollars that are sitting out there for the assets you have and yes, if you sell cheap it doesn’t help anyone including yourself.

If you have one or several three letter Chinese .Com’s and are wanting to sell but are not getting offers in this range then feel free to hit me up for brokerage.

Or think about putting them in the ROTD.com NamesCon auction at which time at this rate, they will be worth a lot more but no one can predict the future.

Simple just don’t sell them for $25K or $30K or even $40K

Keep in mind that three letter .com domains with a vowel or a “v” still have value but they don’t have a wholesale value and the liquidity that the Chinese domain names have.

My opinion that $50k for any LLL.com is very low amount, fair LLL.com floor price must be at least $100k, most of all this LLL.com have many TM’s and companies with same acronyms and once someone of them purchase it for others odds is closed to own it, so there must be battle to own such names and winnner takes it all. Nowadays even $100k is not too much money for marketing purposes for mid. level companies. It can be fun for you, but if i have any LLL.com even with worst letters i will not accept anything less than $300k

I guess available LLL.coms are extremely limited on the market and the holders will try to hold them until they see the wholesale price of $100,000. They know what’s going on on this market. Why not hold and wait for a few extra months or even a year? As years go by, their price will only increase due to exponentially increasing scarcity.

At least LLL.coms are easy to remember and versatile. IMHO, there is no reason that demand will not increase for them. The number of Chinese millionaires is equal to a certain country’s population. needless to say, they want short .coms. very limited supply and exponentially increasing demand, that’s all about it. My memory ability allows me to remember 3 LLL, not LLLL unfortunately. Yes, I mentioned tulip fever here the other day, but it was to express my feeling about 4 digits or more. Not 3 digits. Sorry to 4 digiters.

Actually in another thread I think it was explained tulip mania was actually bullshit and that the author really didn’t know what he was talking about when he wrote it another history filled hoax. Why do I think that the people talking down three letter .com have never owned a three letter.com or any valuable domain for that matter.

MHB, you must upgrade this call… in the same week prices gone up to 60k mark. on my side i started selling some in the in 65k-70k last week. some spam emails now willing to offer $50k for each lll.com with no vowels and no “v”. namejet auctions hitting the 70k.

Jose, $60k minimum for worst LLL.com, good ones receives $200-300k offers already..you can believe or not, but that’s what i see at the moment. Definitely $100k will be floor price for worst ones, and up to $1mln for good one, all depends how long owner can keep owned name, some sells it even less than $40k as needs funds. Market flooded with 4L, 5N, 6N, etc domains but I thing only LL.com and LLL.com have real value globally, i dont believe in numerics domains even considering their high prices.. they are limited only to China and usually used only for intertainment sites, when LLL.com can be used globally by anyone and for any purpose not only for intertainment. 10 years ago best investment were LLL.com and nothing changed now as well, this ones currently most valued names, no any domains have so much TM’s globally so it means no any domain have so much rean end-user demand.. for me only LLL.com is NOT overvalued currently on the market as this is only names which can be used by serious end-users. How much of you guys will trust company/businesses if they use other names for example LLLL.com, 3/4/5/6Numerics.com, or other extentions? I will not trust too much to such companies, for me gold is only LL.com and LLL.com, but you can forget about LL.com as it’s hardly now you find any less than $1mln, so only LLL.com still is possible to purchase by investors for undervalued prices, but you need to harry as their prices is rise and soon not too much investors can afford them too.
